Some of the negative impacts and mitigation measures include: a) the integration of concerns and practices of indigenous peoples recognizes the need for free, prior, and informed consultations to ensure meaningful participation by indigenous peoples during the preparation of each sub-project; b) relevant information on demographic characteristics of affected IP communities, such as social, cultural and economic will be gathered during sub-project preparation. Information about the land and territories that they have traditionally owned or customarily used or occupied and the natural resources on which they depend will also be recorded; and c) the Land Acquisition and Resettlement Policy Framework (LARF) recognizes customary law and customary land title as the main mechanism for ensuring the maintenance of relationships with ancestral land. The main framework for resolving any land issues will rest on the three stages for the attempted settlement of disputes over customary land set out in the land disputes settlement act.
